futile endeavor, a match has ut last been

One of the most graceful and COM
mendable recognitions Of the Grand
Army boys that has come under our
observation for many days, is the
kindly and generous action of
Messrs. Arthur Il Lashier in regard
to the opening of the Arlington
hotel. The proprietors of this new
caravansary had made every pre-
paration for throwing open the hotel
to the public on the ODD, and cele-
brating the occasion with grand
ball, and had so advertised il. 1t
seems that this conflicted with the
plans of the Grand Army post, the
members of which had decided upon
giving a camp fire and ball on the
thur IL Lashier were ignorant, and
upon learning of the situation they
at once decided to step aside, and by
postponing the opening one week
give the old soldiers a clear field, SO
that their effort would have nothing
to interfere with its success. They
so announce the postponement this
mornin. This courtesy is, no doubt,
duly appreciated by the members of
the post, and reflects credit upon the
gentlemen who have thus put them
selves to great deal Of inconve-
nience through kindly feeling
towards the organization. All praise
to Messrs. Arthur & Iashier, and
may their kindness meet with the
reward that u most certainly de.

Tun Down by "a sleigh.

eSterday morning Il young lad
about eight years of age named
Chapman, had IL narrow escape from
being killed. From parties who wit
messed the accident we CLEAN the fol-
lowing particulars: Chapman, fol-
lowing the custom so much in vogue
among the hoys about town, was
riding on Bertrand's delivery sleigh,
standing on the runners. Close be-
hind the sleigh Perry Orr was com
ing along with his hack on runners.
The boy, never noticing the team
behind, stopped Off the runner, and
the hack team Knocked him down.
Mr. Orr stopped the horses at once
bat not before the lad was cohsidera-
bly, bruised. He was carried into
McNab's drug store, bleeding at the
nose and mouth. DR.. Essig hap
pened to be in the store and exam
ined the youth. lie was somewhat
bruised but no bones were broken.
The boy was sent hone in an express
wagon whore he will probably be
laid up for Il few days. FROM all
that can be learned no one was to
blame for the accident but the boy
himself. Any hour in the day boys
can be seen riding on the runners of
sleighs, or being towed behind rap
idly moving vehicles On hand sleds.
Every boy who INDUCES in this pas
time is putting his life or limbs in
jeopardy. 1t is almost as dangerous
and fully as reprehensibIe as jumping
off and on moving trains, ana it is
only wonder, considering the
number of induigers, that more ac-
cidcnt do not occur.

Niagara's Water Power.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Oct. 1S.-It is ex-
pected that before long practical test
of one of the numerous harnesses for
the control of Niagara's power, brought
into existence under the stimulus of a
100000 prize, will receive a practical
test. which will demonstrate its use or
prove it failure, and give something
further on which to base arguments
that Niagara contains no great shakes
of available power. An endless chain,
with feathering buckets, was the inven-
ton of Buffalo man. The rights for
Erie and Niagara counties he sold for
$4,000. He says he has a contract for
that amount. A stock company with
S1,000,000 is to be formed if the coming
test is successful. George w. Smith
has obtained backing to the amount of
$4,000. which is the amount which a
1,000-horse power machine will cost, aud
yesterday he received the necessary
permission from the secretary of war to
place the machinery in the river. Me-
chanical drawings are now being made,
and it is expected that the machine will
be tested this fall.

The Governments Northern Pa

To the Editor of the Globe:
PARK RAPIDS, Mimi, Oct. 1.-THE
order of the general land office opening
for settlement the Northern Pacific rail-
road land in this last twenty-mile limit
awakens much discussion. The Shell
prairies embrace the largest portion of
the agricultural lands of Hubbard
county, as well as Eastern Becker.
Many of our farmers bought of the
Northern Pacific. and hold warranty
deeds or contracts from the company,
These lands have i'll many instances
been improved and crops raised for five
years. Many have bought of the North
ern Pacific Railroad company because
they had exhausted their government
rights to take up land, or else bought
i'll addition to the homestead. If, as
some of the GLOBE dispatches from
Washington imply, there is to be an en-
forced abrOgation of all rights to con-
tlnued possession of railroad land save
to actual settlers OH each tract. it will
result in great injustice to hundreds of
our wOrthiest settlers. The paying back
of the purchase money will be little sat
iSfactiOn to men who have had the
courage to come into a new country.

A Dull Wool Market.

ANTONIO, Tex, Oct 1S.-San Antonio,
which has been headquarters for sheep
men since Texas was annexed. is in
peck of trugble over her wool market.
In the history of the city there has
never been such dead lack of buyers,
for Boston, New York, Chicago and St.
Louis houses were badly bitten last
spring by the heavy decline which set
in subsequent to the payment of fancy
prices and came down this fall de-
termined to take wool at bed rock fig
ures. The commission men have been
warned, and formed combine to let
the staple go at what they considered
reasonably fair prices. The result has
been dead bar of any transactions
whatever. There now here over 10000
bags. OF 100000 pounds, not lock of
which has been sold. New Orleans
refuses to take any of it at the figures
offered and st. Louis is in the same
boat. Boston is expected to make a
break before the end of the week. and
purchasers say that under the present
tariff and infamous system of elassifica-
ton i'll admittinh high grade foreign
woods, they are not justified in paying
large money, and will hot do it if they
leave the state without pound placed
to their credit.

WORTHY OF EMULATION.

Again has woman invaded the domain
of the Sterner sex. and this time in the
most creditable competition of saving
human life. Miss MARY WAKEFIELD.
OF Charlevoix, Mich, is the heroine in
the case. and it is proposed that the sec
rotary of the treasury shall award her one
of the gold life-saving medals or some
other testimonial from the government
for her bravery in saving the life of a
little child who was among the paSsen-
gers on the burning steamer Cham
danger of an objection being raised
from any quarter as to the merit of this
applicant, and she deserves the medal
both for her plucky action and GOODNESS
while i'll danger. and she should be made
shining example for her sisters. Thus
far these medals have been exclusively
given to men, and in majority of eases
to those who follow the sea, for their
conduct in rescuing drowning sailors.
and it will be something out of the
usual run of things to confer one upon a
woman. Under ordinary circumstances
the fair sex is supposed to lose its pres
ence of mind in such dangers as fires or
death by drowning. but here is brave
girl, who, despite the peril of her own
situation, forget self in the laudable de-
sire to save fellow creature. All
honor to such girl, and Secretary
FAIRCHILD will not do a wiser act dur
ing his term of Office than to recognize
her bravery by suitable testimonial.

PRESIDENTIAL CONVENTION.

The quadrennial contest for the honor
of entertaining the president makers of
the nited States has begun. and the
various cities interested have already
put energetic canvassers in the field.
The latest addition to the list is San
Francisco, whose champions announce
as one of the qualifications that Califor-
mia is doubtful state, and that if the
Democrats will hold their nominating
convention at the entrance to the Golden
Gate the state can undoubtedly be
carried for its nominee. Then. too.
Washington wants the convention, and
in order to accommodate the delegates
guarantees to build hall in which the
meetings can be held.
1t is pretty safe to assume, however,
that neither of these cities will be graft
fed by being selected for such pur-
pose, but that either Chicago or st. Paul
will carry off the prize on account of
geographical position.
